Okayama Wine Valley / QAUGURA Sangiovese 2022 (Red) 750ml

This red wine is mainly made from the Italian grape variety Sangiovese, combined with the Italian variety Nebbiolo. The grapes are carefully cultivated using the "Okayama Method" trellis system, a cultivation and production management technique renowned in Okayama for producing high-quality table grapes, from two vineyards: the Miyano Pass vineyard, reclaimed from a rocky, limestone-strewn wasteland, and the Old Glory vineyard, reclaimed on a south-facing slope.
The winemaking is simple and standard, just like with white wine, aiming to bring out the maximum character of the grapes. Adding Nebbiolo makes the color slightly brighter, resulting in a wine where you can feel both tannins and suppleness. It is aged for about 12 months in French oak barrels from Tronçais, with a gentle attack, and I believe you can enjoy the lingering aroma that opens up over time.
The name "QAUGURA" is a coined term combining the traditional culture rooted in this area, Bitchu Kagura, and the Italian word "augura" (hope). The label expresses the powerful dance of Bitchu Kagura in the taste of the wine.
